taught.tO use the tools of the artisan, the
evil complained of would disappear.
1t would not then be necessary for a
boy to spend several years after finish
ing his school course in learning how to
make his own living. He would be
qualified to enter the workshop or the
mandatory at once. Without having
been debarred from any opportunity for
mental culture he would be trained to
make himself not only Independent, but
a useful member of the community.
Though, of course, he would not be an
experienced workman, he would have
attained sufficient proficiency in his
chosen trade to insure his employment,
and with a thorough foundation, but
brief practice would be required to make
him as good journeyman as the best.
The Pennsylvania experiment will be
watched with all the more interest by
educators in this state because of the
fact that Minnesota has also given the
subject of industrial training some little
attention. The matter is bound to claim
a good deal of public attention before
long, and it is well that Minnesota
should take an advanced position re-
garding it.

A CHICAGO BLAZE.
Complete Destruction BY Fire Of Valu-
able Business Property.
A SHOE FIRM BURNED OUT.
The General Record of C0uflagra-
lions and Casualties at Vari-
Gus Points.

CHICAGO, Dec. IA threatening
confiagration burst out about 7:45 p. N.
tonight in the very center of the most
valuable business property i'll Chicago.
The flames were first noticed shooting
from the windows of the large whole
sale boot and shoe establishment of
Phelps, ID 1dge & Palmer Their build
ing is located on the corner of Adams
street and Fifth avenue, directly across
from Marshall Field IL Co.'S warehouse
ard the general Offices of the Chicago,
Burlington x Quincy Railroad company.
The location is but few squares from
the new board of trade, the principal
hotels and the court house, and is sur
rounded on every side by tall, costly
buildings. Thousands of sparks swept
over these, and great crowds of
excited people speedily jammed the
streets. Phelps, Dodge d Palmer'S es-
Enlistment occupied quarter of a
square and was Solid-loOking, five
story pile of masonry and iron, but the
upper floor succumbed with astonishing
rapidity. The building was owned by
Z. III. Sheldon. 1t was put up in 1877
and cost S70.000 The present value is
500, 200. The structure is total loss
and the goods in it are to be classed
likewise. 1t is hard to estimate the loss
on stock. The firm had sold out their
winter stock and had filled out every
floor with spring goods. Mr.. Phelps
estimates his insurance at between
s500.G0o and s600,0o0, distributed among
a number of companies.
Late tonight it was rumOred that the
great fire in Phelps. Dodge d Palmer's
boot and shoe house was attended by
loss of life. 1t is said that at the time
the flames burst from the build
ing several persons were at work
on the fifth floor and that the rapid
spread of the flames must have cut Off
all means of escape. The Waterman Of
the building is missing. The origin of
the fire is mystery. After the flames
had name good deal OF Roadway a
loud explosion was heard. Fire MarShal

A favorite amusement of the Bur
mese, not only on saints days and holt
days. but on all evenings when de-
liciOus breeze permits, is kite flying,
says the San Francisco Chronicle These
kites are made of the thin rice paper
common i'll the country, pasted over
split bamboo frames and shaped into
the forms of various birds and beasts,
the kalong dragon being preferred
figure. They believe that the dragon
at one period was common animal, but
that it has now become extinct. These
counterfeit preSentmentS" are very
cOmical and fantastic in appearance,
being cOIOred with free hand and
liberal allowance of the brightest and
gaudieSt shades. The kites ascend to
great height. and on fine night in the
vicinity of a town or village hundreds
may be seen in the sky. There is much
emulation among them as to whose kite
will take the highest flight. They seem
to have superstition with regard to
these kites when they are high up in the
air, and attach small paper effigies to
the string. which, As all boys know. will
travel up the kitestring with rapidity.
They call this sending up messengers
to the kalOng, or whatever animal is
represented.

ion of Attorney General GARLAND
dated the nth of November, and de-
partmental instructions to the gen.
eral land Office dated the 22d
of November, to show that the
rights of bona fde purchasers
will be properly protected. In the
opinion referred to Attorney General
OAKLAND holds that three classes of
persons are provided for by the act of
the Sd of March, 1887, to wit: First,
bona fide settlers whose homestead or
presumption entries have been errone-
Ously Cancelled on account of railroad
grant or Withdrawals: second, bona fide
purchasers of such unclaimed lands;
third, bona fide settlers residing thereon;
the rights of the several classes to the
land referred to being successive in the
order stated in the section. The attOr-
ney general says: ''The first in right
is the homestead or presumption settler
whose entry has been wrong
fully cancelled. If lie elects
to assert his right. and has not been dis
qualified by locating another claim or
making another entry IN lieu of the en-
try enormously cancelled, his right is
absolute, and the successive rights of
the remaining two classes cannot attach
if he lawfully asserts his claim. If he
fail to claim the land, or is disqualified
under the act, the second class of per-
sons, who are bona fide purchasers of the
land unclaimed by him, attach, and have
precedence over the third class" The
bona fide purchasers here referred to
are defined by the attorney general to
be those who, without knowledge
of wrong or error, have purchased from
the railway company lands which have
been previously entered by pre-emp-
ton or homestead settler whose entry
has been enormously cancelled. as de-
scribed in the first clause of the third
section. and which land the presumption
or homestead settler did not elect to
claim after the recovery by the proceed
ings prescribed by the second section Of
the act
In accordance with this decision the
secretary issued instructions TO the gen.
eral land Office, under date of Nov. -,
directing that report be made to the
interior department of all cases coming
within the scope of this oct. in order
that the proper steps may be taken
to protect bona fide settlers by confirming
to them the title 10 their lands, which
will be done upon proof of the purchase
and that the purchaser has the qualifica-
tons required by the act, without re-
quiring of the purchaser any further
payment to the government OF the pur-
chase price of said land.

HE WON'T COME.

Rev. Mr.. BERRY won't come over to
this country to accept the pastOrate of
Plymouth church, and he is right. With
home associations, as liberal pecuniary
inducements and as broad field as use
fulneSS in England, it could hardly have
been expected that he would cross the
water to become a stranger i'll strange
land. But aside from this fact Ply
mouth church erred in inviting Mr..
BERRY to minister TO its spiritual needs.
No man who is not by long years of OBJ
ServatiOn thoroughly acquainted with
American institutions and the cOndi-
tons of life in this country can touch
those sympathetic chords a knowledge
of which is essential to a successful
preacher.
By the very nature nature of things
Mr.. BERRY. however able he may be,
would have found himself out of SYM
pathy with congregation as essentially
American as is that of Plymouth church.
There have been numerous impOrta-
tons of foreign ministerial talent to this
country, but it is hardly possible to re-
call an instance where the experiment
has been attended with Immediate or
conspicuous success. There has always
been failure to thoroughly appreciate
the American way of looking at things,
and consequent failure in accomplish
ing the greatest possible degree of use
| fulneSS.
Not only that, but there is another
| reason why Plymouth church should
| look at home for successor to BEECHER.
! 1t is a matter of general conviction that
the average of pulpit talent in this
country is higher than that of every
foreign land. At every OccGs on W. en-
ministers of the gospel from this cOun-
try have assembled with their brethren
in other lands. the palm of superiority
has been conceded to those who claim
America as their home. Notably was
this the case at the Pan-Presbyterian
council held in Edinburgh ten years
ago. Speaking generally, ministers are
nearer the people in this country, and
are consequently more capable of de-
vining their spiritual needs.
Though in finding a successor to
BEECHER who will not inevitably suf-
fer by comparison with his great pred
eceSSOr Plymouth church has diff
! ficult task, it stands better chance of
! su .ceSs by combining its attention to
| home talent than by looking abroad.
| Mr.. BERRY'S refusal of the invitation
| rendered him may serve as hint OF that
| fact. And it certainly should.

APREMIUM ON VICE.
Hospitals in Russia for Rearing
Legitimate Children.

One of the most lamentable features
in the multitude of sinful practices Of
the Russians is the moral support given
to the bearing of illegitimate children,
writes New York Mail correspondent.
In the eyes of Russia and Russians it
is neither disgraceful nor sinful, nor is
it unlawful for girl to become mother
when unmarried. The emperOrs of old
set the example and fixed the standard
within respectable limits. Catharine
H., who rode horseback like a man and
commanded or reviewed her own troops.
and who likewise committed various in
delicacies during her reign at Moscow,
founded magnificent hospital. She set
up code of rules for its government,
and which are in full force to-day which
simply gives premium to lllegitlmate
childbirth. And under the fast and
loose regime of the country it is hardly
necessary to observe that this Institution
is well patroniZed: not only this one, but
the various others in the country which
have been founded upon like principle.
At the Moscow hospital alone between
5000 and 1900 children find home an
nually. 1t is a magnificent structure,
with dowry from the empire. No
questions are asked when admission for
a founding is desired; and, further
than this, means are provided for not
only receiving the fOundlings without
disclosing the identity of the mothers,
but provisions are made for childbirthS.
There is also private entrance to this
hospital, where, at nyAhOur of the day
or night, child may be brought, de-
posted in a basket, and, by an auto
matte process, carried to the reception

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Ii was an ambitious undertaking for 4
young actress with less than three
years stage experience to undertake
the Interpretation of the leading role in
a play written by the greatest French
dramatiSt-and part, too, that the great
BERNHARDT had made famous.
But Miss 0LCoTT's production of
Theodore" at the Grand last night is
ample vindicatiOn of her faith in her
own histrionic ability. As an artistic
piece of dramatic work her imperSOna-
ton of the character IS superb. There
is an ease and grace in her style, an
absolute freedom from strain, without
any apparent attempt at StagineSS. She
gives the part she is playing an intense
realism. Miss 0LCoTT'S Interpretation
of Theodore is different from BERN
HARDT'S, in this: the latter pOrtrays
her as the royal cOurtesan, while Miss
OLCOTT brings out the finer and better
touches of this remarkable wOman's
nature. Miss OLCoTT plays Theodore
the queen, proud of the position she
has won, imperious in manner,
yet the victim of tender passion which
fills every wOman's heart. 1t is difficult
to tell where Miss OICOTT is most sue
ceSSful, whether i'll the portrayal of the
finer sentiments of Theodore nature or
in the proud imperiousness of the wO-
man conscious that her elevated station
is due alone to her splendid abilities.
The audience Was large and COM
posed of st. Paul's most cultured peO-
pie. In the beginning the audience
seemed TO be severely critical, withhold
ing all demonstration of approval until
fully assured that the performance was
meritorious. But by the time the fourth
act was reached, which is one of strong
dramatic power, the pent-up enthusiasm
burst forth, and from that until the end
of the sixth and last act there was no
limit to the applause, and Miss OLCoTT
had repeated calls before the curtain.
SO realistic was the scene in which
Theodore plunges the dagger into the
heart of MarcelluS, one lady tainted
and had to be taken out. and in the last
scene, where Theodore is executed by
command of Justinian, several ladies
screamed when the axe was upllfted
above the neck of the lovely but unfOr-
tunate empress.
The stage: setting is probably the
most gorgeous that has ever been seen
here in a dramatic performance, and the
costuming is marvel of magnificence.
Miss OLCoTT's wardrobe is rich beyond
description. The dress worn in the
first act is an imported Oriental cos
tune, the others having been made in
Paris according TO designs furnished
Miss OLCoTT by SARDoU himself. The
costuming of the whole company is
elegant. and the armorS are made OF
solid metal.
Miss OLcoTT has a good supporting
company. Mr.. CoLvILLE, in the char
acter of Adrian, Mr.. RAINFoRD in JUS

PURE GROCERIES.
Such Things Exist, but Are Not
Readily Found.

t'Pice -four and white meal can be
mingled with white pepper in reasona-
BILE quantities, and experts in spices
cannot detect it" said groceryman to
a st. Louis Globe reporter the other
day. ..In truth, there is no trade in
which authorizations for pecuniary
profit can be carried on more
prOfitably and with less chance of
detection than in spices. Terra
alba. fine marble dust, is exported
from Italy to this country in considera-
bic quantities, to mingle with white
pepper Mustard mixes with sage flour
and bit of aniline colOring without
detriment to the appearance of the mus
tard. Treat the mixture with iodine
and you expose the adulteratiOn. but
the average consumer of mustard
is not apt to apply that test.
The German and French muStards
are an interesting mixture. They
are compounded OF cracker dust, must
ard, cayenne pepper, with vinegar, oil
and sugar flavOring. Old crackers are
sometimes baked brown. then ground
into dust and mixed with ground CHINA
mon and nutmeg, and the whole is sold
for nutmeg at price that drives pure
nutmeg out of the market Ground
pepper Is frequently sou lOT less money
than the unground article, viii I'll
makes the naturally suspicious sus-
pect at once that the ground
goods are loaded with pepper
sudt, which is made from c0c0anut
shells, of buckwheat hulls, charcoal,
white meal and mustard bran. Lack of
taste is as desirable in an adulteratiOn
for spices as adaptability of color. For
that reason the cocoanut shell ground
up very fine is desirable. Venetian
red, salt and white meal can be ground
together and made into valuable addi-
ton to cayenne pepper. A dull, red
pepper exported from Africa is often
heavily adulterated with that mix
ture. 1t is worth about 10
cents pound pure, but when
well adulterated it can be sold toa green
dealer and green trade for Natal pep
per. worth % cents to 80 cents pound.
You can buy ground ginger at almost
any store for cents pound when the
unground is selling at 10 cents. That
means that the goods offered for cents
is a mixture of white meal, starch,
cayenne pepper and MANILA rope, flaw
ored with ginger The trade, especially
the country people, want to see the
ginger fibres, and the ingenuity of the
dealer supplies them in the form of
threads of MANILA rope"

A WISE MOVE.

The Pennsylvania legislature has
made wise move in appointing a COM
mission to inquire into the ACCESSIBILITY
of introducing industrial education into
the public schools of that state. Manual
education is bound to become a dis
tinctive feature of popular instruction
in the near future. OF its desirability
there can be 10 question.
A growing evil in this country. it is
frequently asserted. is TO be found in
the fact that the children of parents in
Strengthened circumstances must either
cut short their time of school attend
ance in order to acquire knowledge of
some trade by which they can gain a
livelihood. or else, foregoing instruction
of that character while receiving men
tai training, finish their school course
without gaining even rudimentary
acquaintance with some method of self
support. If there could be cOmbina-
ton of the two kinds of instruction. if

TWO STATEMENTS.

Two significant statements have been
made of late. One is to the effect that
there are in New York at present 1O0,-
600 people out of employment. The
other is that the wealthy people of the
metropolis are preparing for a winters
social campaign on grander scale than
ever before, and that the amount of
money that will be spent in the pursuit
of pleasure will reach the millions.
Already several journals of sociaIistic
tendencies have been commenting on
the fact in words of fiery denunciation,
and have made comparison of the two
statements the basis of deduction that
it is Just such an unevenly balanced
condition of things that justifies the eX-
IRENE doctrines of socialism and an
archism. This is a misleading asSer-
ton.
So long as it is possible for some peo-
pie to pile up great fortunes, while
others must earn their daily bread by
the sweat of their brOws. discomfort will
exist OH the part of the latter and econ
Omists will be prolific in theories for
changing the existing order OF things.
Admirable though their object, Is they
will continue to fail in achieving it.
Since then, under the existing order of
things great wealth must exist, it is
well that it should be expended, and in
its expenditure it must naturally occur
that vast number of people is bene-
fitted.
So that, even though it might prop
erly be desired that the wealth of the
metropolis be more evenly distributed, il
is a matter of cOngratulatiOn that some
portion OF it at least will be expended
in way that will give employment to
some of those who now find the problem
Of existence very serious one indeed

HENRY GEORGE announces with all
the emphasis of his emphatic nature
that he will not be the labor candidate
for president next year. Nor does Mr..
GEORGE stop there, for he expresses
with equal emphasis the opinion that
there will be no labor ticketin the field.
The scales have fallen from Mr..
GEORGES eyes. He now sees what he
ought to have seen long ago, that the
labor element cannot promote the in
terests of labor by forming itself into d
distinct political organization. 1t is APP
parent to every discerning mind that
whatever reforms are to be worked out
in the near future must be done through
the inStrumentality of one of the exist
ing political parties. Which one of
them it shall be depends largely
Oh the way the laboring classes
look at it. Their choice is between the
Democratic and Republican parties, and
they must rely Oh their own intelligence
to determine which party offers the
greatest promise for the labor interest.
To man of Mr.. GEORGES intelligence
and thorough information on questions
of political economy, there ought to be
no hesitation in reaching the conclusion
that the Democratic party, under the
leadership of CLEVELAND, presents the
only hope for the labOring classes.
Twenty-Five years of Republican su-
premacy resulted in building up that
vast system of monopoly which eventu-
ally became IabOr's Oppressor, and which
would have resulted in subduing the
wOrkingmen to most deplOrable
condition of vasSalage but for the
timely restoration Of the Democracy to
power. There is now such well de-
fined issue between the two leading
parties. and one which involves the in
tereStS of labor in so direct a manner,
there can be no justifiable preteXt for
a third party movement. The issue is
simple question of whether we are TO
have a government for the many ac-
cOrding to Democratic principles, OF
whether it is TO be government for the
favored few according to the Republi-
can idea. 1t ought not to take work.
ingman long to make up his mind OH
which side of this question he will
align himself.
